Whetstone Homepage


A short row of small terraced houses on this Whetstone side street. The addition of continental style shutters to some of the houses is interesting - with the sun like this, they could come in handy.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A restaurant and bar occupying the offices of an old car showroom on the High Road in Whetstone. The car showroom itself is undergoing some building work at present and I wait to see what it will become.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A large modern car showroom, presumably in keeping with the company's vorsprung durch technik slogan. The High Road begins to widen here, becoming a short stretch of dual carriageway as it approaches the centre of Whetstone - quite why is a bit of a mystery.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Evidence that we are in Whetstone. An unusual housing development, breaking from the terraced and semi-detached norm of the area. Apartments are arranged around 3 sides of a courtyard with trees on the 4th and parking in the centre.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A one-time service station converted to dual use - I believe it used to be a Fina station. Servicing of cars is still carried out, but the shop has become a kitchen design centre with the area where the fuel pumps were located allocated to parking.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Metroline TE948 drifts along between Whetstone and North Finchley with a Holloway bound 263. Passengers wait at the stop opposite for a northbound service. The zebra crossing in the photo was out of use in the recent past, so it's good to see that it has been reinstated. It's early September and the leaves on the Horse Chestnut trees are already beginning to turn brown.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Suppliers of timber, fencing and building materials, Lawsons have been present on this site for many years. Watch out for forklifts when entering the premises!

Dist:0.4km<br/>Opposite the council offices in Barnet House is this neglected piece of civic architecture. It must once have been a symbol of civic pride, finished in a half-timbered style. The trees might come in handy if you need to spend a penny! Subsequent to this photo being taken, in September 2009 it was noted that these toilets and the adjacent building have been demolished and the site cleared.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This small group of large terraced houses were built in 1904 according to the fine plaster work on the end. The side street on the left is Woodside Lane.
